Article about Asian people doesn’t have a SINGLE quote from an Asian organizer or Asian studies professor.

p.p.s. It is important to connect Hegseth et al's effort to rewrite history to erase the genocide of Native Americans to the Trump Administration's recent attack on the Smithsonian, including the National Museum of the American Indian nativenewsonline.net/currents/nat...

The ways in which RHPS aged badly are so, so far outweighed by the ways it gave queer and questioning kids a place to figure themselves out. We forget this at our own peril.

For anyone not in Alberta or not paying attention, girls playing sports in school now have to prove they were born female to play sports. And can be challenged by anyone at anytime and must prove they are female to keep playing. This doesn’t apply to boys. What a dystopian hellscape

…I believe the current Alberta government reflects many of the worst instincts of the MAGA movement seizing hold of the United States, and no one is safe until everyone is safe."

Reminder that my most recent book is about the corporate control of Canada and how it's hollowing out public services, like Canada Post. I write about Crown corporations, their purposes and democracy in our economy. I'm available for interviews! Even though you'll pick a white guy professor instead!

I need to say a few words about Darren. He was, in many ways, the doctor all doctors needed to be. Compassionate, caring, an advocate and a poet. We were all privliged to have him in our world. And we are poorer for his departure from it. Wherever you are, I hope there are paddles and pedals.

Doug Ford: cities can do speed cameras cities: good, we will police, schools, cities: speed cameras have now been shown to work and therefore will reduce deaths Doug Ford: my friends yelled at me about speeding tickets so more deaths it is

#abpoli UCP continues to try to solve problems that aren’t with more distractions than actual governance.

Racism. it’s not a revolution it’s a reversion .

“Dr. Markland emerged as a vocal advocate for health care during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also advocated for cycling as a form of active transportation in the city.” cyclingmagazine.ca/mtb/edmonton... 💔😭

Be the reason someone smiles today... or blocks you. Whatever.

'A 2019 report from the Mayo Clinic revealed that for 58% of medical residents, training in #menopause amounted to a single lecture, while 20% had none at all. … Meanwhile, “the running gag of ‘Is it menopause or is it fascism?’—that’s real,” says Corinna. “It’s both. It’s everything.”’

you know how you solve the problem of trans and autistic children? you love them, and you listen to them, you raise them with the support of a community that supports about their well-being. you work to build a world that accomodates their needs. you give a shit.

There is no conclusive evidence that taking Acetaminophen during pregnancy harms children, but there is very strong evidence that getting COVID does.

Watch this, knowing that Banting and Best never wanted to commercialize insulin, and it'll make you cry to see how far the prevaling logic of capitlist greed has dragged us from the light. www.facebook.com/watch/?v=798...

"you are the ones with the most to lose. My colleagues & I may have to leave this cherished institution & that would be a great loss for us. But we have already lived lives of consequence and can find other pursuits. You, however, would lose the education you deserve." 🔥 thebatt.com/news/anonymo...

Behind the sleek promises of AI is a thirst for water. Data centres consume huge amounts, straining supplies and fuelling clashes with farmers and Indigenous communities. In Canada, dozens of facilities are clustered near the Great Lakes, raising questions about how much more the ecosystem can bear.

They said knowledge would set me free. They didn’t tell me it would set me free of the shackles of sanity

#SocialistTuesday Following international news. All around the World it seems there are crises of affordability, and skyrocketing shelter costs, rent or buy. It seems the solution is not voting for another political party. The problem seems to be Capitalism, as designed.

One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback. When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

anti-anti-fascist feels like it should have a one-word synonym

it's not actually fast. it's been going on for decades but y'all just told us we were overreacting

LOL LOL LOLLOL they want to hold us hostage for their feelings and make a Black person apologize for how their racism led to fascism

Also, autistic behavior has been described throughout pretty much the entire history of human civilization. It's almost like (see also: transgenderism) they just want to pathologize and demonize any naturally-occurring variation in humanity that doesn't conform to their narrow standards.

Let's talk a bit about Humphrey's Executor and the Supreme Court's BS Congress created the FTC to protect the public from unfair business practices. And to keep the agency focused on the interests of the *public (not just the president), Congress gave FTC Commissioners for-cause removal protections

I already subscribe (I double-checked bc I cannot remember anything) but please subscribe if you can. It's tough to keep newsletters sustainable.

Since it was first described in the 1940s, autism has been blamed on mothers, in one way or another (based on no evidence). Plus ça change

A big shout-out to all of the students who came down to the Legislature this morning to support teachers & protest the deep damage Danielle Smith & the UCP’s have done to our education system. We were proud to stand with them. They know they deserve better & that better is possible. #abpoli

and i don’t think people get the importance of admitting you’re wrong when you’re wrong. the importance of TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY. if you fuck up and can’t admit you fucked up, you are going to fuck up again. you WILL fuck up. likely in the same way.

Wow, mediocre white joke dude got his show back Now do all the POC journalists who were fired

It's 28 days to Calgary's election and I already feel like I'm going to fall over

Question for Alberta’s UCP government: How costly has the healthcare re-organization been, and what has it achieved? Reduced wait times? Increased number of family doctors? Emptied ERs? SHOW ME

Losing track of the various standards we apply to political media people at lower versus higher levels, so just to refresh: if you're young or have expressed partisan left views, ever, you have no place in the news business. If you're old and Conservative, have at 'er. Have I got that right?

It's brave to try.

Things aren't good. Now is the time to try lots of different things.

They want you mad at trans people and immigrants so you don’t think about them shifting wealth from the bottom to the top with every move they make. And Trump’s trillions transfer is accelerating the process.

Riley was a bit of a doofus and not good for the viewer... but he was good for Buffy. "Hey younger me. In the future you'll make a case for Riley." *gets punched out by younger self*

I know it's hard to do but you have to tune out the constant & I mean constant torrent of criticisms on social media re: activism & organizing. If you don't, it can stop you from trying to do any activism or organizing. Most of the critics aren't doing any organizing themselves so keep trying things

One thing I am realizing about this administration-- not just Trump, but his underlings-- is that they all think running the country is functionally the same as being able to have everything they want, all at once, immediately. There is no strategy, just naked expectation of instant gratification.

Audre told us.

This is my fault.

New from me: There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo. Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post. Read and judge for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...
